Irony

I'm finally giving in to watching The Da Vinci Code. I didn't really like the book because I thought that it was gimmicky and full of fiction stereotypes, formulas, and cliches. Any controversial book ends up winning in the end; the anti-Catholicism following buys it so that they can try to further prove to themselves that Christ was not who he said he was, and the pro-Catholic crowd buys it so that they can participate in religious debate and then warn their parishes about it. The publisher wins! Look how many even Protestant Chriatians bought the book so that they could see how their Lord was potrayed (myself included). The best part is that now that a book has done so wewll, mind you with very little literary acclaim, more books like it will be on the way. You can see I'm jumping for joy. How does a writer get rich? Try to tear apart a 2000 year old religion, so that both foe and friend shall read it. Seriously, has America been brainwashed (no comment)? Everyone around me seemed to think that this book was genius, but each of the "clues" were so unbearably obvious.

....back to the irony. So before I started the film, there was an advertisment for Click. I was bored, so I fast forwarded through the commerical, until I realsied just how insane that movement was. Click is a film about a guy who fastforwards, with a universal remote control, through everything in his life that he doesn't want to endure. Everything is fine and dandy until the fast forward button becomes jammed. The moral of the film was to show down and enjoy these precious memments that we have on this earth. Great moral, horrible film both in the execution of the story and in fim making quality. But, who isn't curious about the BEYOND? ...of course the mystery door inside bed bath and beyond.
